Texas Tech University, Abilene Christian University and Natura Resources are moving forward with plans to construct a molten ...

A collaboration between multiple universities and private firms earlier this year started integrating molten salt reactor ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

INL scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in fuel production for next-gen molten salt reactors, overcoming a key hurdle in making these advanced nuclear power systems viable and bringing ...

The brainchild of nuclear physicist Alvin Weinberg, it was the first nuclear reactor to use molten salt as both a coolant for fuel and a component of the fuel itself. It was also the first reactor ...

Molten salt reactors (MSRs) represent a fascinating intersection of nuclear history and modern innovation. The concept of using molten salts as both a coolant and fuel carrier dates back to the ...

There have been some intriguing stories lately about a different kind of reactor – one cooled by molten salt instead of the more typical water-cooled designs comprising the great majority of the world ...

Texas Tech University, Abilene Christian University, and Natura Resources are one step closer to the deployment of molten ...

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission now expects to complete its review of TerraPower's construction licence application for ...

Kairos is trying to reinvent nuclear power. Its molten-salt-cooled reactor could generate safe, reliable, carbon-free electricity that’s potentially as cheap as power generated from natural gas.

"According to the relevant provisions of the Nuclear Safety Law of the People's Republic of China and the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Safety Supervision and Administration of ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has created its “first-ever” custom glass test cell to observe how gases behave inside a molten salt reactor.
